Most of my supervisors were Dutch and I was able to see a difference in how they approached their role as managers in comparison to the international students. I found that sometimes…
This theory posits that different types of comparisons (i.e., comparing the self to some “idealized” form of the self or comparing the self to some “ought-to-be” form of the self) lead to different emotional outcomes (Higgins, 1987).

Each class of emotion requires different organizational or managerial reactions in order to dissipate (discussed in detail later; Higgins,…
the “kibbutz.” The kibbutz is “co-operative and collective settlement” based on “communalism.” The author also discusses the “Westernization” of Israel.

Most of the time they use their cellular phones, iPods or any other electronic devices during class discussions. There are times that students have unexcused exits during class discussions like leaving to retrieve a soda or other snack items, leaving to engage in a conversation whether it is person – to – person or by phone, leaving before class is finished for any reason without prior permission from the instructor, etc. Other examples of disruptive behavior in the classroom are talking while…
Collectivism implies that people are integrated from birth into strong, cohesive groups that protect them in exchange for unquestioning loyalty.
